Dokeos 1.8.5 and earlier contains a flaw that may allow an attacker to carry out an SQL injection attack. The issue is due to the main/mySpace/myStudents.php script not properly sanitizing user-supplied input to the "student" and "course" variables. This may allow an attacker to inject or manipulate SQL queries in the back-end database.
